The exception to both is if you bid to a new category. In that case, the seat lock does not apply.

New category as in any other airplane that was not offered in INDOC?

A new fleet type or a base that currently doesn't have a current aircraft. So, the E190s will be fair game for all new hires on their seat locks. If they added the 88 to SEA, for example, that would be biddable, too.

I like it! If you're a 4 Apr guy or earlier, I nominate you to plan it. Anyone second the motion? Say aye! 
...I hope to be in the April 4th or 11th class...

- Don't ever volunteer for deployments that involve sand or end in "stan".
- Don't ever volunteer to plan the squadron Christmas party. (Granted this ain't a squadron Christmas party, but it's close enough.)

(BTW, all you quiet types out there owe me a coke for asking all these questions!)

So.....really 4 ways to break a seat lock - Mandatory Displacement (no training committment); Voluntary Displacement (training committment); New category (training committment) and First-time Captain upgrade (training committment).

If you were a LAX 717 pilot, you could bid for any catagory your seniority could hold. I wouldn't worry about it at all if you are eventually going to be ATL based.
